Wish I would have asked Elroy before he died how he caught his 15. I dont recap who caught the other one and rumor was in trees in 40 of water. Never know whos lying and who isnt though.

Another guy I ran into 1 day claimed that he owned the BassChamps record for Choke and he caught them on a roadbed that crossed by a pond dam.

Wish I could have fished it back then, but my daughter was a baby and I didnt get the time away. If it ever fills, those days will return and it will be a nightmare getting those fish out of the brush.

I think some were caught flipping trees in the river. I think 44 was biggest winning weight.

I remember the first summer when we moved to N.B. from Seabrook 08 I think. A tropical storm had come through, anyway the lake caught so much water they closed it for a few days. The first day it opened, me and my B.I.L. caught a 30 + lbs string wade fishing the swimming area on Horney toads tossed up onto the bank, fish were sitting in less than a foot in mid August.

Zoom ol monster 1oz egg wt. 12" leader. Pulling it thru brush piles in 6' of water on the west side of the south shore ramp. It was an all or nothing pattern. It paid off. Lol

It was 2009 when Derrick Kurkendall and Elroy Krueger both had 15 pound bass. There was also a 13 caught. We had around 29 pounds and only made it to 6th.

Buddy drove over river in Tilden today and said it was bone dry. I will be down there tomorrow morning crappie fishing. I will report on what water looks like.

Lake is one foot lower than last time I was there in July. Some type of club tourney going on today with at least 25 rigs in parking lot. Crappie still bitting but water looks like hell. I think the water has finally fallen out of most of the hydrilla leaving windblown mud banks.

Is the concrete water tower sticking up yet towards the end of Calliham point? I think its visible at 28 low.

I haven't been there since February 2010 and it was already down then like 15 feet below pool, its almost 20 feet lower than that now can't imagine what it looks like. Anyone know why they reduced the flood pool around 2013?
